This is crap! You're burb is a halfton and doesn't "require" higher load tires. I bet they didn't want to balance the tires because they knew it would be a pain to get them right. I've balanced alot of those wheels and they can be a headache to balance but all it takes is a little extra effort and your good to go. When is the vibration happening? Usually tires won't vibrate under 60 mph unless there seperated.

When the driveshaft was installed were all of the Ujoints put in the correct position from each other? In other words all the ujoint caps should line up with each other down the length of the shafts or it will throw the shaft out of balance. It would happen when the two sections are slid together at the carrier bearing. Just a thought.

Nice Burb!

Still have a vibration in the driveline and possibly still need a higher amp alternator. I also have some 1" spacers being made for the rear wheels. I am going to take it to have the rear gears changed to 3.73 as I currently have a 2.8??? something and that is not good with the 700r4 I just had rebuilt. She does drive really good otherwise. I have put 200 miles on her this week but need to get the driveline fixed ASAP.

**Dieselwrencher** · 02-24-2013, 02:10 AM

At least you are getting through some of the issues and can drive it right now.

Crappy roads kill that here for us.

Hey... watch it on the Shelby...

**Ol Blue K20** · 03-15-2013, 10:37 AM

Great, that means you've got most the bugs worked out. Congradulations and nice pics.

The guy in the red stang was killing himself cleaning his rig. My clean up took 15 minutes.

I have some pinion shims ordered which I hope will solve the vibration issue and I still need to swap to 3.73's so the 700r4 will operate better. I also have some wheel spacers for the rear on the way. This town has some major dips coming off the roadways into parking lots.

Bigblueburban · 03-15-2013, 07:38 PM

Love the burb. Nice catch. I have the same mirrors as well. And I like your wheel.... Nice build. Glad it's on the road

Your burb sure does look sweet man!

BB72CHEVKT · 05-13-2013, 03:37 PM

I entered Trixie in her first car show this weekend and she got a little love.

**Ol Blue K20** · 05-13-2013, 05:54 PM

Well, it looks great! Congrats! She deserves a little love

shawno72 · 05-13-2013, 06:37 PM

Did you laugh when you told them it WAS finished

I probably should have chose a different category but it seemed to fit best since I still have some work to be done.

**70cst** · 05-14-2013, 10:30 PM

That is one

BB72CHEVKT · 06-13-2013, 10:34 PM

Got a few goodies for the burb. I picked up a set of 5" drop springs for the rear and a old skool Kenwood KRC 5001 shaft style stereo 50 watts x4. I hope these spring with the 2" block bring the rear a little closer to the ground. The springs that are on there were bought new but second hand I am still not convinced they were a 4" spring. I should be good since we notched the rear. Since it is my daily I got to find time to get them swapped when we aren't at the lake.

BB72CHEVKT · 06-28-2013, 01:36 PM

The burb has been in the shop the last few days and we have solved the vibration in the drive line. The shop that installed the 700r4 and had the driveshaft cut down shortened it too much. We lengthened the front drive shaft an inch and also installed 4 degree shims to correct pinion angle. They changed the spider and axel gears and the right side axel and bearing. I also determined I already have 3.73's. The place that did the initial work told me I had 2.8??? some thing and I thought that is why sometime the 700r4 is hunting for a gear from 3rd to 4th sometimes. So I will get with the guy who rebuilt the tranny and see what he can do about that. I still haven't installed the new rear spings or radio but am super happy that my vibration is gone. I took it to my old driveline shop in Dallas and drove it about a hundred miles to get back to work with no problems.

**lolife99** · 06-28-2013, 01:51 PM

Isn't installing the new rear springs (and 2" lowering blocks),... going to affect the 4 degree pinion shim you just put in?
And possibly the driveshaft total length?

I have thought about and I am not smart enough to know if it will mess things up. If they mess things up I will change it back.
